13 EASIEST Ways To Kill Bosses In Elden Ring

11. Holy Water Pot For Death Birds

Death Birds are a boss that only appear in certain areas of the game at night time. These terrifying, skeletal birds show up all over the world, with the Death Rite Birds being the most powerful and difficult to defeat, with their frostbite-inflicting Ghostflame often taking out chunks of a player's health.

While their agility and powerful attacks might make them difficult to fight, there's actually a way to one-shot these birds, with just a bit of setup. Even without this setup, however, most players will still marvel at the amount of damage they inflict with just a few pots.

Holy Water Pots, when used against the Death Birds, are a surprisingly useful tool. If your character has high holy stats, this strat becomes more effective, but you can buff holy damage with anything from The Golden Epitaph sword skill to mixing your Physick with a Holy Shrouding Cracked Tear. You can also use the Companion Jar talisman to buff your throwing jar.

With the right buffs, including generalised added damage buffs (Golden Vow, Howl of Shabriri, etc), you can take out even the toughest Death Birds with a single holy pot, ending the fight with one hit.
